Sorry that I accidentally submitted the request without the description. The dummy `docindex.sqlite' causes the setup of `drracket-tool-doc' to deadlock, and possibly other operations that try to connect to the dummy database. To reproduce, run `raco pkg install drracket-tool-doc'. Removing the dummy database fixes the bug.

I just tried to repro in a fresh VM and it seems to work fine. I ran the command as a regular user and a whole pile of stuff got downloaded and installed under $HOME with no error. Have you looked at  FS#60413 ?

Hi,

1. As I understand,  FS#60413  is about the main distribution, not the minimal distribution. Since only the main distribution comes with `racket-index', only it needs to install the `docindex.sqlite' file (which should be a _generated_ database);

2. No, the setup still deadlocks for me in a new container. It's specifically the _setup_ that deadlocks, not the downloading or installation of the package, because the rendering of the Scribble file tries to access the dummy database;

3. An alternative way to reproduce the deadlock is to manually invoke `show-content' (from the `drracket/check-syntax' module in the `drracket-tool-text-lib' package). Below is the result I receive along with the deadlock:

> (require drracket/check-syntax)
> (show-content
(read-syntax
(build-path (current-directory) "dummy-file.rkt")
(open-input-string "#f")))
; virtual-statement: no such table: documented
; error code: 1
; [,bt for context]

which is, again, fixed by removing the dummy database.
